    I have the exact same fear! I realize that it's irrational, but it's still there.

    I've always felt that way. The dark has always scared me.

    I also used to get a running start to jump into my bed when I was little, and I still refuse to let any part of my body hang over the edge of the mattress.

    I am always like that after I watch a scary movie. I am afraid something is gonna eat me.

    I can't sleep in a bed that isn't against a wall. If there is space around it I always think that something is going come up the side of the bed and get me.
    That is what watching too many horror movies does to you. Haha

    either youve been watching too much paranormal activity or you have some reason to be afraid or you just have a combined (common) fear of the dark and under the bed

    I used to have this fear pretty much up until I was like 25. Sad, I know. Once in a while, when I'm alone, I get that feeling... and I really hate it.

      Haha, I still have a fear of the dark. I know it's irrational but once I get the feeling I can't get rid of it. I also hate doing loud things in the house when I'm alone. Like vacuuming or drying my hair. I don't like that I can't hear what's going on in the rest of the house. And I hate looking away from a mirror and then looking back because I feel like something will have appeared and will scare the shit out of me. I think I've watched too many scary movies and they've left me scarred for life ;)

    Not weird to me. I'm the same way. I imagine this huge hand coming up over the side of my bed slowly and grabbing my ankle and pulling me. And I don't even have an 'underneath' to my bed! Yeah, and I'm 21. :) It's just been something I think of since I was a kid. As a kid, and still sometimes today when I let it get to me, I try to sleep right in the middle of the bed, as far away from the edges as possible. :P

    Yeah, when I was a kid I'd run and jump on my bed from far away to avoid that. I'm glad my hallway has a light switch at either end because I can't turn off the lights in my living room and walk down a dark hallway. No way.
